S-milestone: Skip the sugary drinks!
✨ Think fruit juice is a healthy choice? Even “100% natural” juice can pack as much sugar as soft drink — and little teeth pay the price.
❌ Sugary drinks like juice, cordial, flavoured milk and soft drink feed harmful bacteria in the mouth, leading to tooth decay and erosion — even in baby teeth!
❌ Even sugar-free options aren’t always safe: many still contain acids that wear away enamel.
✅ Best drink choices?
💧 Tap water (with fluoride!)
🥛 Plain milk
💡 Tip: Offer fresh fruit instead of juice — it’s more filling, has fibre, and is much kinder on teeth.
